One great feature of the Dixon Little Roomer is its versatility. Both the snare drum and included 6" tambourine can be mounted from 10.5mm L-rods (not included) to free up floor space around your kit even further. This means you need fewer stands in your hardware bag, lightening your load and cutting your set-up time down.
Intelligent mounting and top-notch hoops. Despite the Little Roomer's primary role as a space-saving drums solution, Dixon didn't take any shortcuts in the hardware department. The 10" x 7" rack tom mounts simply from the bass drum's 7/8" diameter mounting post, using the included mounting clamp. Likewise the 13" floor tom is equipped with sturdy, standard legs, and with 1.6mm, triple-flanged hoops all round, lack of sustain is never an issue.
More bass for your buck. You might imagine that the Little Roomer's compact shell sizes mean a lack of low-end. However, mahogany's warm bass-end response and tapered treble mean these tiny tubs produce a balanced and well-rounded sound reminiscent of much larger shells.
A 45-degree bearing edge is a common cut for drums, featuring a 1-ply edge, close to the outside of the drum shell. With a 45-degree bearing edge, the drumhead film has much less contact on the drum shell itself. This results in a more lively sound, packed full of sustain and attack. These bearing edges also produce considerably more harmonic overtones, making fine-tuning even easier, due to the increased sensitivity to tension changes.
Tear down and get going in seconds. The Little Roomer drum system was designed specifically for drummers on the move. Its matching set of carry bags allows you to transport the entire set-up by hand, including hardware. The toms, snare and tambourine fit neatly into the comfortable backpack, which also contains a padded cymbal pocket. The low profile, 20" x 7" kick drum slots into its own bag, leaving just enough space for your ride cymbal, too. The clever, open-ended hardware carry bag even doubles as a drum rug, meaning you truly can bring everything you need to the gig in one trip.
